Le Havre, voilier à quai is a 1906 oil by Albert Marquet, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This painting depicts a serene harbor scene, with a sailboat docked at a stone quay. The boat's white sails are furled, and it appears to be moored to the dock. In the background, a few other boats are visible, along with some buildings and a bridge or pier. The painting's color palette is subdued, with muted blues and grays dominating the scene. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The overall effect is one of calmness and tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the harbor. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of light and shadow, you might want to look into the technique of chiaroscuro.
